Erie Dearie Original

The Erie Dearie Original is a classic weight-forward spinner designed for walleye fishing and other freshwater gamefish. Known for its distinctive weighted-head design, spinner blade and proven swimming action, the Original Erie Dearie gives anglers a versatile presentation for casting, drifting and trolling in a wide range of fishing conditions.

Built around the proven weight-forward spinner design, the Erie Dearie Original places the weight toward the front of the lure, creating a unique presentation that allows anglers to cast, control and work the bait effectively throughout the water column.

The combination of the weighted body and spinner blade creates flash, vibration and swimming action that helps attract walleye and other predatory freshwater fish.

For walleye fishing, the Erie Dearie Original provides a versatile alternative to traditional crankbaits, jigs and crawler harnesses. It can be cast toward active fish, drifted naturally with wind or current, or incorporated into trolling presentations when anglers need to cover more water.

The Erie Dearie Original is especially well suited for drift fishing for walleye. Allow the wind or current to move the boat while maintaining control of the lure and adjusting depth based on the location of the fish. The weight-forward design allows anglers to maintain contact with the presentation while the spinner provides flash and vibration.

For casting, the weighted design provides the mass needed to reach productive water from a boat or shoreline. Cast the Erie Dearie toward points, flats, breaks, weed edges, rocky areas and other locations where walleye may be feeding, then retrieve it at a speed that keeps the blade working while maintaining the desired depth.

The Original Erie Dearie can also be used for trolling, allowing anglers to cover water while targeting suspended or roaming walleye. Adjust lure weight, trolling speed and line position to match the depth of the fish and current fishing conditions.

The spinner blade creates flash and vibration as the lure moves through the water, helping fish locate the presentation in clear, stained and changing water conditions. Different blade and body colors allow anglers to adjust visibility and contrast based on sunlight, water clarity and available forage.

Although best known as a walleye lure, the Erie Dearie Original can also be used to target a variety of freshwater gamefish. Its combination of flash, vibration and swimming action provides a versatile presentation wherever predatory fish are feeding on minnows and other small forage.

The Erie Dearie Original is available in multiple weights, including 3/8 oz, 5/8 oz, 3/4 oz and 1 oz, allowing anglers to select a size based on water depth, current, wind, casting distance and desired presentation.

The 3/8 oz Erie Dearie Original provides a lighter presentation for shallower water, slower drifts and situations where anglers want a more subtle approach.

The 5/8 oz option provides additional casting distance and depth control while maintaining the classic Erie Dearie presentation.

The 3/4 oz and 1 oz Erie Dearie Originals provide additional weight for deeper water, stronger wind or current and situations where anglers need greater depth control.

Fisherman's Central carries the Erie Dearie Original in a selection of proven colors and finishes for walleye fishing. Bright fluorescent patterns provide increased visibility in stained water and low-light conditions, while metallic and more natural finishes provide flash and baitfish-like appearance in clearer water.

Popular Erie Dearie Original colors include Fire Glow, Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Red, Fluorescent Yellow, Gold Plated, Green/White, Lemon/Lime, Pearl White, Purple, Red/White and Silver Plated.
